Well next year im gonna try to get me a brand new eclipse. Im deciding between that or a stealth/3000gt and i may just get it for the warranty. Anyone out there have a 3G eclipse that would give me any feedback on what they are like? Are the GTS models very quick factory? Mods= void warranty, so it will be lightly modded if at all. Handling any good, i love the handling of my 1G DSM's, never tried a AWD though. Newer cars i have drove feel bulky in cornering and dont offer the secure feeling that my 1G dsms seem to give me, so im not sure if the 3G is one of them. I will of course test drive it first, but trying to decide if I want an eclipse or get an older stealth. One more thing, the sporttronic vs manual tranny, i would think the manual would be better, not sure how good the sport tronic trannys are. Thanks!

I have thought about a 97-99 GSX, not sure what kinda problems they are known for, ex. crankwalk? Well im gonna be stationed on an army base so whatever i decide to get, it wont be a daily driver. But it will be making quite a few trips home, so it would be a travel car, but i want something that i can "play" with also cool.gif . 3s cars, people tend to keep the miles down on them, and a 3G if something happens to that, then its the dealers problem to fix, not mine. GSX's are abused and the warrentys are gonna be up on them before to long. I do prefer the look of a 2G over a 3G Eclipse, they just kinda ruined it taking the hump out of the hood, thats kinda what set the eclipse off from other cars. I will check the link out nate, thanks for the info guys.
